The Sony

®

 Changer Software CD contains a software program that 

when installed, works with Microsoft

®

 Windows

®

 Media Center in 

Windows Vista™ Home Premium, or Ultimate to control the 
Changer/Recorder.

Before beginning the software CD installation process, go to 
Windows Update and make sure you have installed the latest 
critical updates for the host computer. You should also visit your 
computer manufacturer's Web site to ensure that your system 
supports Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium, or 
Ultimate. We recommend to update any drivers or firmware that 
your manufacturer has distributed to ensure compatibility.

The first part of the installation process is a series of checks to see 
if the host computer contains the operating system software 
required to properly run the VGP-XL1B Changer/Recorder. During 
this process, if a required system software component is outdated 
or not found, you will be directed to install the missing operating 
system software before continuing.

After all required programs are verified or installed, you will be 
presented with a series of basic installations screens. Please read 
each screen carefully, then take the appropriate action. 

  1 From the host computer, insert the software CD into the optical 

drive.

  2 Normally, the installation starts automatically. If it does not, from 

the Windows taskbar, click the 

 button, and then click 

. In 

the text box, type: 

 (where x is the drive letter of your 

optical drive) and click 

. 

: The following installation procedure must be initiated from 

the host computer.
